Piff the Magic Dragon (Office Hours+ Episode 311)
🕑 Added 2024-09-26 15:00:09 +0000 UTCIt was a magical morning with special guest Piff the Magic Dragon performing many of his astounding tricks along with his assistant Mr. Piffles 2.0, and the holy trinity lending a hand as needed. Of course we talked to some of YOU on zoom and the hotline, a brand new City of the Day, a double header dopp' o' the mornin', and we acknowledged the legendary career of Hoda Kotb. We even had the original Mr. Piffles 1.0 join on zoom for a trick. PLUS, more tricks, a new pair of guys from Vic and some actual pyrotechnics in the studio.

Longlegs dopp #1
BART
had to comment here - absolutely sounds like Tim. Lmao
Chris Letso
It was a good dopp submission. Tim just couldn't see it.
Dayne Swerdling
As the bozo who submitted the longlegs dopp, I’d like to point out to Tim that there is in fact evidence of him doing this exact voice https://youtu.be/HhTXI5av_G8?t=59&si=S6YWq3Kw1kEVdZyc
Tim Heidecker
Sorry bout that folks! Fixed it this weekend. Will keep an eye out and try to fix these things as fast as we can. But yeah, there's a big standoff with SESAC that's causing tons of other songs to be fully blocked instead of just demonetized. -matt
Tim Heidecker
that's Mr. Coal. Phil Braun's doing. But I hear ya. It does look kinda weird. -matt
John C.
Yeah, "huh"...?
John C.
It did not seem that way...
Alison Schmidt

Des L

Tim Heidecker
Blurred Lines from the impersonator has fucked us. a new edit will be up shortly.
Aaron
It's his thing.. On Cinema is about a guy hosting a movie review show while not actually caring about movies, OHL is a call-in show where the host doesn't care about the callers
JE
yeah same. try using a vpn. i vpn'd in from 'australia' and it worked
Jonathan d dockery
Same here. Weird
Clarke Joyner
Same here. I was in the middle of watching it and it kicked me out.
Troy Candor
Same
Brandon Patterson
YouTube says the video is blocked from my country (US) because of SESAC. I really need to start catching these live.
John C.
Those pits have their own ecosystems...
Jim Schroeder
My brain is still trying to process that rubix cube trick. 🤯
Ben Posey
This is great for us Patreon members thanks for listening to me!
Mig
how wet are we rating those pits? 78%?
Josh Parsons
Matt, let me know if you run across something in the compendium that isn't fully filled in or doesn't make sense, and I'll be more than happy to track it down if something isn't clear.
Tim Heidecker
HUGE UPDATE just for you Ben - it turns out Patreon has added the ability to add posts and backdate them. I'll try to start working my way through the compendium so the "Full Episodes" collection has everything in one place.
Oopie Doopie
Loved Piff. Good energy and naturally hilarious.
Josh Rachbach
I gotta stop hiding my bullets behind picture frames.
John C.
I hear what your saying, but both were a "total dis". I mean, the people calling in are fans. A lighter touch would have been better. Respect 🙏 😁
mitch griffith
Matt, it was a bit of a stumble not booking Nick Hexum for this show or at least SA Martinez
Jacaranda Athayde
Eliana Athayde is not a member of the union 🫡 & word on the street is she’s very fairly compensated for her work in the VGB. But that will not stop her from seeing Tim in court.

I think Matt needs to include a waiver for callers to sign with the knowledge they may become part of a bit. might be a bit difficult for hothead hotliners, but I believe in the cap although I've noticed that kind of "prank" has been sprung often at Vic and that one's "response" makes or breaks the bit/joke.
Willie
He didn't really give the guy a chance to trail off though--started ignoring him when he was three seconds into the anecdote, and then didn't let him finish it. Uncharacteristically mean-spirited, I thought (though I understand he's gotta keep the momentum of the show going.)
KD
Damn, the stealth Union Rep was certainly a surprise. Assuming it wasn't a bit,fair play tbh. A good example of the basic low level militancy (backed with facts) every worker should have. Tim handled it well. Piff was great. Very amusing episode. Looking forward to the piece in the failing NYT (Tim you should switch subscriptions to the FT).
Natty Norts
This episode was so much fun, loved Piff!
Des L
Long Legs 100% sounds more like Tim than the butterdop looked like Doug lol.
Drew Schooley
INVESTIGATE EPISODE 311!!!
Shane
this is great but should have booked 311
Grant Peterson
Anybody else get super relaxed/ASMR vibes from watching magicians perform? Was similar to DelGaudio ep. Excellent stuff
lilula9
I haven't finished the whole ep but I really liked seeing the Essence of OHL on display for the NYT. The goofs from the trin and Matt captaining everything really put everything in a good light, for me. Hope they liked it, too! As for ignoring the Zoom call...I'm actually fine with it. even as a newer viewer, I think I have a slightly informed stance. A big reason why I've been a huge fan of Tim being gracious with all the calls this year was because I was in the hot seat myself with the Gary Gulman ep (the DVT joke). Fully expecting to be shot down. And actually looking forward to it, since I think it's funny, and was kind of the norm last year. So I crafted a (rambling) hook. Had a goal. and delivered it! No, I didn't get to deliver my poems, but got a gentle redirection that paved the way for a fun way to interact with the show (also: cute poem yesterday!) Would I rather have been ignored or dropped? I say ignored, since I would be able to see I'm losing ground--and have the chance to adapt on the spot with another hook, if I feel like it. It's not as abrupt as a blue pig, anyway (which still hasn't been used to stop a call, I might add. just for Doug to dance with 😆) TL;DR Brevity is the soul of wit, and I think ignoring a call after it trails off is an awkwardly funny way to push for wit. We could learn a lot from the late, great Phil Braun. He gets shot down so often--and just rolls with it! "And we love him. We love Phil Braun. Everyone loves him." (Petition for Tim to do a Cheeto impression in honor of our un-excommunicated hero)
Jimjim
I mean it's's either be lightheartedly rude to keep the show moving when the caller is a dud or coddle them and let the show grind to a halt
John C.
Great show, but Timmy was a little rude to a couple of the Zoomers. Not cool...
Ben Posey
Holy crap! That google doc is just what I needed ! Thanks !
matt
Great guest! Please have him back
Tim Heidecker
btw - you can always this compendium if you're really trying to track down everything https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eFEN28QMk_p1elRQy3iDY3fXjIuf7V1IWXlF1QV1jhQ/edit?gid=2079552352#gid=2079552352
Tim Heidecker
hm weird. Not sure why they're not showing up. They should be tagged "full episode" and then would show up by sorting that way, or in the new full episode collection. Will have to look into it. Unfortunately Patreon doesn't have a good way of organizing anything and there's no way to go back and add old episodes backdated. That's why the RSS is so much cleaner. Anyway will try to figure out what's going on. -matt
helldrip
please never get rid of the vic’s new guy(s) segment… it’s so goofy and silly, it always makes me lol
Faire Enough
great guest
marshy
great guest and callers today! finally a drop i DON'T like: moaning trump. the michael mcdonald OKAY makes up for it tho.
Ben Posey
listening from now.. all the way back to episode 140 the video's end up being just after hours videos.. but no live video recordings before that.. i think someone needs to go back and rename everything.. and get all the extended videos online for patreon members.. .. I'm tapping into the RSS apple podcast feed and its nice to select 1st episode and start from begging.. I do really enjoy the Video episodes. and i hope you can take a second look at the old episodes and make it as well named and archived as current episodes.. thanks!

You remind me today, of a small magical Chihuahua
